The next UFC event is here, and it's heading to the South Lawn of the White House. We've rounded up everything you need to know about the event, including where to watch UFC Freedom 250 and a look at the fight card. If you don't want to scroll any further, you can live stream the event through Paramount Plus in the US.
Beyond the spectacle of the White House backdrop, there are two high-profile title fights to enjoy tonight with Pereira vs. Gane and Topuria vs Gaethje topping the card.
Where to watch UFC Freedom 250 in the US
UFC Freedom 250, and all other UFC events, are available to live stream with Paramount Plus in the US. UFC coverage is included in both tiers of service, so fans can watch for as little as $9 a month in the Paramount Plus Essential tier. For those looking to unlock ad-free on-demand content, Showtime programming, and a CBS live stream, the $14 a month Paramount Plus plan is the way to go. UFC Freedom 250 won't be broadcast on CBS like select other UFC events, so Paramount Plus is the only way to watch.
Paramount Plus is perfect for viewers who want to stream CBS TV shows, local NFL games, and tons of content from Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. And if you get the premium tier, you can also unlock ad-free streaming and access to Showtime.
How to watch UFC Freedom 250 from anywhere
UFC fans traveling away from home can still keep up with their usual viewing options with a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are tech tools that let people temporarily change the location on their electronic devices. This way, their go-to websites and apps work just like they would back home. Since the service we've recommended requires a US method of payment, this option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling abroad right now.
NordVPN is one of the best VPNs on the market. It's fast, easy-to-use (even for beginners), and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not helping you out.
NordVPN is top of the pile of the best VPN services. It offers excellent value, with a strong feature set and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs for a reason.
